Pirate Bay workaround coming?

Where there’s a will, there’s a way – and The Pirate Bay certainly thinks so after word that their site could be blocked by ISPs in the UK. The filesharing behemoth has already thought up of a workaround, and will rely on a more covert system so that users can continue to download films and music from their site. According to a statement on their official Facebook page, The Pirate Bay claimed that from 29 February onwards, no more torrents will be made available for download, where in lieu of that, we have “magnet links” that enable users to download files – but just not directly from the website.

The Pirate Bay says, “Before you go ‘oh ma goood why why why?!!!’, please understand that it’s a necessary move in the saga known as The Pirate Bay. Not having torrents will be a bit cheaper for us but it will also make it harder for our common enemies to stop us (which they can’t. But everything that makes it harder for them brings more lolz [laugh out loud] to our lips). So please get used to magnets, cause they are here to stay.”
